This page contains detailed information on how to perform the ancestoring quest. Keep in mind that the ceremony can be performed in any land, but I will show how to do it in Kesmai in this section. Make sure that both characters in the quest are of the same alignment, otherwise it will not work.
Prelimenary Information
So you want to perform the Ancestoring Quest. There are 2 parts, the Ceremony of Death and the Ceremony of Ancestors. The purpose of this quest is to permanently kill your character, and create a new one. The new character will receive half the experience, and also accelerate to half magic skill very fast. The old character can also pass down one tied weapon, such as a BBS. The new character will also have access to the bank account and lockers of the old character. Once your character performs the Ceremony of Death, he cannot be brought back, so make sure you want to do the ceremony.
The Ceremony of Death
To perform the Ceremony of Death, it is wise to store all of your possesions in your locker or have a friend hold them, as they will all fall off your body after the ceremony. Since you will be unarmed, find someone to help you get to the shrine as there will be monsters along the way. To perform the ceremony, you must go to the Shrine of Tranquility. The shrine is located in the west area of Kesmai, you can find it by going straight west and slightly north from the dock of Kesmai (where you appear when you facet in Kesmai). Once there, stand in front of the altar and say "ashak ashtug nushi ilani". Your character will immediately die, and be permanently sent to the UnderWorld. This will open the way to perform the Ceremony of Ancestors.
The Ceremony of Ancestors
After your character has performed the Ceremony of Death, go back to the Conference Room. Make sure you create your new character OVER the old character's slot. After that, find someone to escort you to the Shrine of Bones. The Shrine of Bones is located on Kesmai -2. If you know where the portal to Axe-Glacier is, or Trog's lair, it is very close to there. It is opened by a secret door that is located at the end of a corridor after you go down a rope from Kesmai -1. Inside, there may be many monsters so make sure you have someone to help you kill them. Then, stand in front of the altar and say "ina khitim nushi ilani".Your ancestor may not appear the first time, so keep trying it until your ancestor appears. When it appears (it will look like a ghost) say "meditate".Your ancestor will then pass on half his experience and part of his magic skill. Remember, if you are of a different alignment then your ancestor, the ancestor will not pass on his experience. Then, if you have your ancestor's BBS or other tied weapon, type in "(ancestor name), bless this weapon". Make sure the weapon is in your right hand. Now you can leave, and you will be a fresh new descendant of your ancestor.
